if princesses melt in the rain because they are made of sugar, how do they bathe?

perhaps they never get dirty?

You think princesses get dirty??

They _must_ at least have skin oils! Or their skin would be all dry and nasty... :)

They bathe in lemon ganache?

Too... many... options....

[volta]

a) dry-clean only
b) have you ever smelled a princess?
c) how do they get dirty?

a) Isn't dry cleaning not actually dry? Just different soap?
b) No... true, maybe they don't!
c) Skin oils!

In the pure aether of regal perfection.

*snort* Ok, as plausible an answer as the original question was. ;)

With that mixture of chemicals that Delenn talked about in Babylon 5, but they don't use it on their hair to avoid the "Delenn Hair Incident."

Maple syrup?

Ewwwwww.

Aren't princesses skin even more sensitive than mine?

In ethanol. Sugar doesn't dissolve in ethanol. I know because I was trying to make liqueurs using Everclear.

Dude. Cool.

I like this answer!

Having just returned from Pennsic, covering a Princess in Everclear sounds like the beginning of a "No shit, there we were..." story.

Yes, this is mysterious, like many other things about princesses.
I notice that "my" princess bathes regularly without dissolving.
I'll have to ask her how she does it.
